There was so much blue on my page, I just needed a little spring-green. These are my ice-tea bottles, that both brighten up my kitchen window, and I fill up and bring along whenever I work outside the house. It´s the small things in life that bring a smile to your face.

Eidesvik Offshore wanted to repaint their reception, and asked me if I could make something for two of the walls. So here is one of them, the other one is still in my head. I usually install the art myself, but since I was away, the pictures went straight from the printers to the framers […]

I recently added another page to my blog called IF/journal. I´ve added lots of old pages that I´ve made in different books and journals, but found out today, that one couldn´t leave comments on that page, so I guess I´ll just have to post them here, and leave the older ones on that page. Anyway, […]

I just had to post a couple more pictures of the black lace I am making for Kjerstins wedding dress. I was slightly nervous about the peacocks, but think it worked out nice. And it wasn´t as difficult as I feared.Â I made a rough pattern on baking-paper… …pinned down the white, fine tulle I […]
